‘Loud’ rocks guitar documentary
Davis Guggenheim to unveil film at Cannes
Davis Guggenheim has completed filming on a documentary that will look at the story of the electric guitar from the point of view of three significant rock musicians: the Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White.
Guggenheim, director-producer of “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Deadwood,” directed and co-produced “It Might Get Loud,” which Thomas Tull financed and produced. The Little Film Co. will represent the pic in Cannes.
Led Zeppelin’s Page, U2’s the Edge and White, leader of the White Stripes and the Raconteurs, were chosen for their impact across three different generations — from Page’s 1960s days as a session musician and a member of the Yardbirds into the Edge’s unique sound developed in the ’80s through White’s current work. Each explains and demonstrates how he changed the sound of the electric guitar to suit his own style. Pic includes a jam session featuring the three guitarists.
Dude, this is gonna be totally AWESOME!
A public service announcement for those who like to go “wow”:
Traveling to the stars has never been easier
To help you explore the far reaches of our universe, we have teamed up with astronomers at some of the largest observatories in the world to bring you a new view of the sky. Using Google Maps this tool provides an exciting way to browse and explore the universe. You can find the positions of the planets and constellations on the sky and even watching the birth of distant galaxies as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope.
We are particularly excited about the ability to view the universe at different wavelengths, to see how it would look if our eyes worked in the x-rays or infrared. As you explore these new layers, play with the transparency to blend between the different wavelengths and see how different parts of the universe light up at different wavelengths
If you are interested in what’s happening on the sky tonight or over the next few months then check out the podcasts from Earth and Sky or search for the position of your favorite planet.
Where’s my hookah? I got stargazin’ to do!
Sci-fi guru Arthur C. Clarke dies at 90
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday in his adopted home of Sri Lanka, an aide said. He was 90.
Clarke was a penner of tales that launched the imagination of generations of futuristic thinkers, and wherever he is now, I’m sure he’s enjoying the view.
Purely as a public service, TTP alerts you hookah heads to free entertainment:
Feb. 13, 2008: On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It’s a total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010.

NASA obviously understands the level of science education in this country (NONE) when you read further:
The Sun goes down. The Moon comes up. You go out and look at the sky. Observing the eclipse is that easy.
See, even this guy can do it:
